The Panthers have firmed further as favourites for the NRL premiership with TAB while Melbourne flyer Josh Addo-Carr has come from the clouds to storm to the top of the Try Scorer market.

Addo-Carr’s remarkable six-try haul against South Sydney saw his price cut from $19 into $3.00 favourite as he joined the injured Brett Morris with 11 tries, two clear of Eels winger Maika Sivo and Titans destroyer David Fifita, who has drifted to $21 after being charged for a high tackle. TAB traders still rate Alex Johnston (8 tries) a major threat and have placed him on the second line of betting with Sivo at $6.00.

Melbourne’s massive win over the Rabbitohs moved them from $4.50 into $4.00 but the Panthers remain the team to beat at $3.00, the shortest price this season. A Grand Final rematch is now rated a $4.25 chance after the Melbourne/Penrith Quinella tightened from $5.25.

The Roosters are back to double figure odds while Manly are now shorter than the struggling Raiders who are out to $34 heading into Magic Round in Brisbane.
